Newbie with first welds from the IMIG 200

[johnnymg]

OK, so these are some of my VERY first practice welds. All I have right now is some old/rusty 14 gauge box tubing from a cut-apart truck rack. These welds were done using 17 volts and ~250 in/min of 0.030 wire and C25 gas. Other than blowing through at the end of the tube (my fault I'm sure) and being a little wavy, I think the welds looks OK for a newbie. I'm going to practice more on getting the weld beads to be straight. LOT's to learn ~~~~~~~~

I'm also going to buy some 1/8" and 3/16" angle tomorrow so will have more newbie pics to post. The IMIG works great!

cheers
